Victoria Climate & Weather

Victoria Climate and Weather

Most of the state of Victoria is in the warm and temperate band
of the southeast corner of Australia, with warm and dry summers and
cool, wet winters; however, temperatures can vary widely within the
state. The Australian Alps in the northeast have snow from June to
September, while the eastern highlands, Gippsland and the Otway
Ranges to the west receive the heaviest rainfall.

Melbourne has a moderate oceanic climate which is famously
variable and well known for its four-seasons-in-a-day weather
patterns, but generally June and July are the coldest months,
January and February are the hottest, and October is the wettest
time of year. In summer, between December and February,
temperatures in Melbourne average between 55°F (12°C) and
78°F (25°C); and in winter, between June and August,
temperatures in the city average between 42°F (6°C) and
59°F (15°C).
